Product description

Oxygen absorbers are made of a chemical compound, the active ingredient of which is a powdered iron oxide. Our absorbers are completely safe. While they are not edible, they are not toxic. No harmful gases are created and the oxygen does not remove the fresh smell and taste of the product. When used with proper packaging and sealing, the oxygen in the packaging is greatly reduced. Our absorbers bring the oxygen level down reliably to.01% or less.

I was watching videos about food dehydrating on YouTube. There was a woman who was super serious about dehydrating. I mean, she was storing her dehydrated food in a vacuumed bag, then put into another vacuumed bag followed by a food storage bucket (that was what she did for the food she was keeping for long term storage.) She placed the O2 absorbers into each bag. The food that she had dehydrated & intended on using sooner instead of later went into Mason jars. She also put the O2 packs ( 1 per quart) into the jars. Then she used a lid & ring, as for canning. The really neat part was, the lid actually sealed because of the O2 absorbers. It really does work because I've tried it.

Now I can dehydrate food & it won't get soggy as time goes by. Most of the food I plan on dehydrating will be stored in vacuum sealed bags but the food for immediate use will be stored in Mason jars with O2 absorbers and canning lids & rings. By using the canning lids you can tell if the O2 absorbers are actually working because the bubble in the canning lid flattens & seals the jar. You don't have to seal the jar with the vacuum /sealer. It really works!

I noticed many people said their absorbers were junk after opening them. Just make sure to put them into a vacuum sealed bag or jar & they should be fine. Don't leave them loose, exposed to the air. After I opened the bag I removed what I needed & vacuum sealed the rest of the packs. I noticed that the pink indicator turned violet in the few seconds it took to remove 3 packs and seal the remainding packs. Not to worry, the indicator turned pink again after vacuum sealing. I know the packets are still good because several days later I removed a few more O2 absorbers. Again, the indicator turned violet in 5 seconds of air exposure but returned to pink after vacuum sealing. I guess when they no longer seal a Mason jar lid to the jar, then I'll know they aren't good anymore.

Please don't pay any attention to these reviews. Go on the net and read about how they really work. There are some misconceptions here.

When you get them, open the bag and immediately put them in a canning jar or a jar with a TIGHT sealable lid. If you have a Foodsaver, suck the air our of the jar. Quickly put the lid on and tighten. Take out only what you are using RIGHT THEN.

Those things that come in shoes and pill bottles are not the same thing. A real O2 absorber is fantastic for food storage.

There are no instructions and after opening it and putting a piece in one packet of dried food when I came back to the open package on the counter all the little packets were very hot and there was moisture in the bag. I quickly put all the hot packets in a mason jar and sealed it. The jar cooled off eventually but I am still not sure how you should handle this stuff.

I had ordered other 02 absorbers before and was very happy with the results. Then I ordered these. These did absolutely nothing and there was no color change whatsoever. I think the entire packages was a dud. Now I am going back to my earlier orders to find the ones that actually worked. Don't waste your money.

I have 3 -25 pound Vittles Vaults. One for cat food, rat food, and hamster food. I like to buy a year's worth of food for each type of animal.no put it in the cat and hamster buckets and they were fine. Both have food in there already.

I put them in the rat bucket and a day later, when the food arrived in the mail, I opened it to find it soaked with water! I'm new to dessicants but I did not know they pulled water from air. It was weird. I threw them out because they were soaked as well and I didn't want to risk 40lbs of food going bad.Overall, they work great. Just make sure your bucket has food I it

I bought two bags of these. They were vacuum sealed upon receipt. I opened a bag, immediately took what I needed and resealed the bag with a foodsaver. The bag did not return to the vacuum sealed state, nor did the absorbers get warm. The other bag had the same result. Do not buy these. I use oxygen absorbers frequently so I know how to use them.

Bought these for keeping my home made snack sticks nice and fresh. I put 5 of them in a vacuum bag, throw one of these in i, vacuum, seal and throw in the refrigerator or freezer. Makes it easy to give to my friends when they come over for been and BS.

Just make sure you seal the ones you don't use. Otherwise, you'll find that they start absorbing immediately, and with a bag full, you'll get a nice chemical reaction that'll heat up the absorbers rather quickly.

The product bags is not resalable.Once the bag is open it starts the oxygen absorbsion process, and the little indicator disc changes colors and the whole bag heats up as it reacts with the oxygen. (the process stopped once I re-vacuum-sealed the bag)So be advised, have your work ready before you open the bag.Take what you need out, re-vacuum-seal the bag, and then use the product you removed quickly.You may want to consider getting a vacuum canister to store them in. That way you can open and close at will.
